Almost a year after actress Gal Gadot announced that filming on Wonder Woman 1984 had wrapped, fans have been treated to a first look at the new Wonder Woman instalment.

The first trailer for Wonder Woman 1984 dropped in all its retro-inspired glory on the film’s social media channels last night, featuring familiar faces, new cast members and a whole load of nostalgic references from the 80s.

‘A new era of wonder begins,’ the film’s Twitter account teased as they released the first look at the new film alongside four new neon-hued character posters.

When is Wonder Woman 1984 released?

Wonder Woman fans keen to watch the next installment of the superhero franchise still have a while to wait before they can watch leading lady Gal in action.

Wonder Woman 1984 won’t be released until 5 June 2020, meaning we won’t get to see the film until next year.

Who is in the cast of Wonder Woman 1984?

Wonder Woman 1984 sees 34-year-old Gal Gadot return as Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, but this time she’s living in Reagan Era America.

Although the exact details of the plot are being kept under lock and key for now, we know that the superhero will have to face off against well-known Wonder Woman nemesis Cheetah, who will be played by Kristen Wiig in the new film. Although the trailer shows Kristen’s character Barbara Minerva and Diana chatting over a glass of wine, WW fans will know this friendship is doomed.

Actor Chris Pine is back again for this Wonder Woman sequel, despite the fact that fans thought his character Steve Trevor was a goner thanks to the ending of the first WW film.
